TMI beyond belief!! Piles :o

LO is almost 9 months old and I am STILL suffering now and again. Have tried all the usual creams and (gasp) suppositories. Any magical cures you know of? Anyone else have this hideously embarrassing problem?

(I know newlook will be reading this, haha, are you completely cured now?)

Well I would suffer still from time to time but it is more when I have to go to the toilet (sorry tmi ops: ) anyway I don't know if you are having the same issue but I use dulcoease (any chemist) and it works wonders!!

sorry should have also added, just a tablet you take 3 times a day not every day and it makes things easier!

*whispers and raises hand sheepishly*...me! No idea about what to do with them...tried cream etc just after giving birth but haven't tried anything new, will be interested to see if there are any magic potions.

Hey Coco. Mine aren't hideous but I still have them from time to time, enough to make a no.2 painful & leave bright red blood in the loo. I know I recently had another baby but tbh they're no worse now than when Lily was 9 months old and I was only recently pregnant again.

I've never used any of the usual creams, but I do slap a bit of Sudocrem on and I don't think it's pure imagination that it helps.

Mine arent awful but thought i'd let you know what i use, soon as they flare up i use a herbal remedy called "dashes off to medicine cupboard to check"... new era calc.fluor. calcium fluoride and they have a number 1 on the front of the pot. Seem to work for me!They're supposed to help tissue to stretch etc.

oh sorry, forgot to say! Its little dissolving tablets. you stick 4 on your tongue. either 3 times a day or in extreme cases every half hour till it subsides. They dont taste great but its not awful and works for me (and my mum which is how i know about them)
